Buccaneers Finish 2nd at Division II Preview

Barry women's golf team finished second at the season-opening event in Daytona Beach after rain halted the tourney.

Barry University women's golf team settled for second at the NCAA Division II Fall Preview at LPGA Legends Course in Daytona Beach Tuesday after rain cut the Bucs' season-opening event short.

The Buccaneers, who entered the season ranked No. 7 in the nation in the Golfweek poll, trailed Lynn after two rounds entering Tuesday's final scheduled 18 holes. Through nine holes in the final round, Barry still trailed Lynn at the turn before weather halted the tournament.

None of the nine holes from Tuesday's round counted. Barry finished second with a two-day total of 305-313 -- 618. Lynn won by 12 strokes.

"We're a little disappointed, not in the way we played, but just because we wanted an opportunity to have a chance to win the tournament," Bucs acting head coach Shannon Sykora said. "You can't compete with Mother Nature."
